Tiilikkajärvi National Park (Finnish: Tiilikkajärven kansallispuisto) is a national park in Finland, located both in Rautavaara, North Savonia and Sotkamo, Kainuu. It was established in 1982 and covers 34 square kilometres (13 sq mi).

Southern and northern natural features mix in this park forming an ecotone of forest and swamp types.

The Tiilikkajärvi lake is a barren 400 ha (1.5 sq mi) lake with beaches all around it, split in the middle by esker capes.
